Life in Dörröd III the slow peaceful weekend
The slow weekend with dogs and outdoor lunches.
Nowadays this term "living slow" is heard so often as "vegan" and "zero waste". These three tags, names, trends describe the today's modern culture of people who seek the simple life, the healthy way, the awareness and self-love. The others think they are stupid or seek attention or whatsoever. But I simply argue with the fact that, did not this happen in every decade, period or century? Some part of society fleed from the known into unknown to try a different route, new ways and approaches, and challenged themselves, because their soul seek something else than what was supposed to be a norm? And then one day the "new trend" became "a common thing", and was called something in between lines as the new Renaissance the awakening and "new era begun" such stuff.
Honestly, who gives a crap about someone's way of living?! Okay, some judge and get angry if you don't eat meat. And that is sad. Sad to laugh about ones tries to open up their world and horizont. Changing perspective. When the "seek the simple" becomes a commodity itself, then it's a dangerous trend just for the hearts and likes... Pretentiousness gets tiring, and it has no good vibe, and you start to snooze... Being honest and authentic is much more attractive!
Practising "slow living" has many meanings. One finds the calmness in a cafe with a book and coffee. Another finds it being at home all day long, doing what? Well, read a book, online stuff, work on a project, cook long and slow meals, enjoy meals slowly, or watch a movie, or have a cleaning day! And some others find the slow living in the outdoor lifestyle. I live by my emotions - there are days when any of these helps me to balance my inner world, and there are days when only an escape into the forest will help me.
Our weekend consisted having no clock to follow, enjoying everything slowly, and having private-alone time also. He went on a long cycling training, I went for a jog through the forest with Chai and at home, we (yes, me and the dog) prepared for lunch outdoors. Made a food plan for the next days, and just other normal house cleaning errands. We joined the neighbours and went for a walk with their 4 dogs, we got to know that one of their sheep named Bubbles is the rebel and escapes to tease the boys in another field. As we were away for few hours, then we had a quality time cuddling with our little watch-dog Chai watching movie and having long lunch by the fire. She gets jealous or she knows we spent time with other dogs!
Just us and the dogs, and having dinner with Happy Dogs ranch listening to their many amazing stories of their travel life before Sweden!
